“…The biological activity of ethylidenethiosemicarbazides is related to their chelating ability with metal ion through either thione or thiolate sulfur and one of the hydrazone-nitrogen atoms 12 . Furthermore, ethylidenethiosemicarbazides have been used as a reactive building blocks for synthesis of different azoles such as, bis-thiazoles 13 , [1,3,4]thiadiazoles 14 , [1,3,4]oxadiazoles 15 , thiazolidin-4-ones 16 , imidazolinones 17 , and thiazoles 18,19 . In this survey, we represent three approaches about ethylidenethiosemicarbazides, with different aryl or heterocyclic moieties, including synthesis, reactivity, and their biological activities.…”
